Re: Help! My pups always die.
If you are separating pups in the fall, it is much harder no matter how large a pup you have especially given that you are already in the northeast where it is getting cold.
I've done it once where I purposely waited until spring right when the pups started to emerge on the musa basjoo and then when I saw each of the individual pups already which is in the beginning of May, I dug up the entire corm and sectioned it off like a pie. All of the divisions survived and it looked like the ones with a larger corm piece attached grew faster. I also made sure the roots were not broken and each piece got enough corm, and all of them ended up surviving.
